People in Iran, as in many other countries, have had
interesting sightings of and encounters with
unidentified flying objects (UFOs) over the years.
Lately these sightings seem to have increased.
Are Iranians seeing U.S. surveillance drones,
extraterrestrial visitors, some combination of both or
something entirely different?
According to a Jan. 19 report from the Fars News
Agency (FNA) in Iran, a UFO was observed Wednesday,
Jan. 17.
FNA reported, “A radiant unidentified flying object
was again observed in the sky of Central Sepidar in
the vicinity of Bouyer Ahmad in western Iran from
19:10 to 20:30 hours local time (15:40 to 17:00 GMT)
Wednesday. Witnesses told FNA that the object has been
observed for more than an hour.”
FNA reports said another case occurred two days prior
on Jan. 15: “In a similar incident last Monday, an
unidentified flying object was witnessed in the same
area and at the same time.”
“Witnesses also said that the UFO has been as big as a
ball, with a yellow ray and a bright reddish color in
the center. They also stated that the object has been
flying at a very low altitude,” FNA said.
In another Jan. 17 incident in Iran that made news
worldwide, multiple witnesses reported a “crash” of a
UFO.
FNA also covered that story and reported, “Last
Wednesday, a UFO crashed in Barrez Mounts in the
central province of Kerman. Deputy Governor General of
Kerman Province Abulghassem Nasrollahi told FNA that
the crash, which was followed by an explosion and a
thick spiral of smoke, has caused no casualties or
damage to properties.”
“Eyewitnesses assured that the explosion has been
caused as a result of the crash of a radiant
unidentified flying object onto the ground. The source
also said that the crash has been witnessed by people
in several cities, and mentioned that the rendezvous
point was located 100 kilometers from the provincial
capital city of Kerman,” FNA reported.
Nasrollahi told FNA, “People in the city of Rafsanjan
also reported to have witnessed a similar incident
several days ago. Similar crash incidents have been
witnessed frequently during the last year all across
Iran, and officials believe that the objects could be
spy planes or a hi-tech espionage device.”
U.S. SURVEILLANCE AND PSYOP
It is reasonable to consider that some sightings of
unusual objects in the skies above Iran could be part
of U.S. operations.
Back in February 2005, Washington Post writer Dafna
Linzer reported that, “The Bush administration has
been flying surveillance drones over Iran for nearly a
year to seek evidence of nuclear weapons programs and
detect weaknesses in air defenses, according to three
U.S. officials with detailed knowledge of the secret
effort.”
Linzer wrote, “The small, pilotless planes,
penetrating Iranian airspace from U.S. military
facilities in Iraq, use radar, video, still
photography and air filters designed to pick up traces
of nuclear activity to gather information that is not
accessible by satellites, the officials said. The
aerial espionage is standard in military preparations
for an eventual air attack and is also employed as a
tool for intimidation.”
Linzer also reported that, “U.S. officials confirmed
that the drones were deployed along Iran's northern
and western borders, first in April 2004, and again in
December and January.”
“A former U.S. official with direct knowledge of
earlier phases of the operation said the U.S.
intelligence community began using Iraq as a base to
spy on Iran shortly after taking Baghdad in early
April 2003. Drones have been flown over Iran since
then, the former official said, but the missions
became more frequent last year.”
“The spring 2004 flyovers led Iran's military to step
up its defenses around nuclear facilities in the
southern cities of Isfahan and Bushehr, where locals
first reported the UFO sighting. Defenses were added
around those sites and others last month, Iranian
officials said, after it became clear they were being
observed by the drones,” Linzer wrote.
So, there seems to be tentative identification of one
possible explanation for some objects in the skies
above Iran. But is that the complete explanation? U.S.
surveillance and psychological operation (PSYOP)
intimidation?
Linzer’s reporting seems to verify that some of the
objects seen by Iranian citizens could be U.S.
surveillance drones, efforts at PSYOP or some other
U.S. effort.
But, if we look back a few years, we find that an
incident over Tehran, Iran’s capital, took place in
1976. And this encounter seems to be something
entirely different.
THE 1976 TEHRAN UFO INCIDENT
One of the more interesting UFO cases occurred in the
skies of Tehran on Sept. 19, 1976. It started when
citizens reported seeing an unusual object in the sky.
The Wikipedia online encyclopedia states, “The
incident is well-documented in a U.S. Defense
Intelligence Agency (DIA) report with a distribution
list that included the White House, Secretary of
State, Joint Chiefs of Staff, National Security Agency
(NSA), and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).”
Wikipedia notes that, “Various high Iranian military
officers directly involved with the events have also
gone on public record stating their belief the object
was an extraterrestrial craft.”
According to the book, CLEAR INTENT: THE GOVERNMENT
COVERUP OF THE UFO EXPERIENCE by Barry Greenwood and
Lawrence Fawcett, after reports started coming in from
people in Tehran seeing this UFO, a decision was made
to scramble an F-4 jet from Shahrokhi Air Force Base.
Greenwood and Fawcett wrote, “The plane left the
runway at approximately 1:30 a.m. to intercept the
UFO. The plane sped toward the large, bright unknown
which lay some 70 miles north of them.”
“About half way there, the plane began to experience
communication problems. Instrumentation was also
faulty, so the pilot dropped off course, heading back
to Shahrokhi.”
“Another F-4 left the air base, attempting to identify
the UFO. As the second jet approached the UFO, they
made radar contact. Crew members stated that the size
of the radar return was similar to that of a 707 jet.
The actual size of the object was impossible to
determine visually because of the brilliance of the
glowing object. The jet drew nearer to the UFO.”
“For a time, the F-4 bridged the distance between
itself and the UFO, but even flying above Mach 1, the
UFO suddenly shot away from the F-4. This incredible
burst of speed was confirmed by the plane's radar and
also visually. The pilot of the F-4 was not able to
gain any ground on the UFO, but managed to pace it as
they sped through the skies,” Greenwood and Fawcett
wrote.
“The crew of the plane would later say that the UFO
had strobing lights arranged rectangularly. The lights
alternated from red, blue, green, and orange in color.
The plane's crew was astonished to see another,
smaller object emerge from the large UFO. The plane
and UFO were now flying south of Tehran. The smaller
object made a bee line to the F-4 moving at incredible
speeds.”
“Fearing for their very lives, the pilot aimed an
AIM-9 missile at the approaching object, but just as
he did, the weapons control panel went off line, and
he lost all communication.”
“The only course of action left was to dive to try to
avoid a collision with the approaching UFO or weapon.
The approaching object followed the plane into its
dive briefly, but then tailed off, and returned to the
larger UFO. All functions were again on line as the
UFO left the jet behind,” according to Greenwood and
Fawcett.
Answers.com includes additional information about this
incident. When the air force pilot attempted to land
at Mehrabad airport after this encounter, something
else happened: “As the F-4 was on final approach, they
sighted yet another object, cylinder-shaped, with
bright, steady lights on each end and a flashing light
in the middle.”
“The object overflew the F-4. Mehrabad tower reported
no other aircraft in the area, but tower personnel
were able to see the object when given directions by
the F-4 pilot. Years later, the main controller and an
investigating general revealed that the object also
overflew the control tower and knocked out all of its
electronic equipment as well,” according to
Answers.com.
UFO INTEREST IN NUCLEAR SITES, WEAPONS
One thing that U.S. surveillance drones and alleged
extraterrestrial visitors have in common is an
interest in nuclear sites and weapons, not only in
Iran, but worldwide.
Many very unusual and frightening UFO incidents have
occurred over the U.S. near nuclear weapons sites and
nuclear facilities. Other nations have reported
similar activity.
One theory that is a recurring theme among researchers
of the UFO phenomena is that extraterrestrials
visiting Earth, if we assume for a moment that this
could be true, are interested in preventing nuclear
war here.
Some researchers claim that specific and concrete
communication with between extraterrestrial visitors
and average people, as well as government officials,
have made this clear.
There have been references in some UFO research to a
concern by extraterrestrial visitors that a nuclear
war on Earth could not only severely damage life on
this planet, which they would see as unfortunate, but
could also affect other habitats, life and the
environments outside of Earth.
Recent UFO incidents in Iran may or may not have
something to do with these kinds of theories.
However, the increasing nuclear research and
development in Iran, and increasing tensions with the
U.S. and the international community would certainly
fit in with this perspective.
WORLDWIDE PHENOMENA
Many sightings do not seem to be related to nuclear
sites. The recent UFO sightings in the U.S. for
example, at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, in
Arkansas and most recently in Hawaii are examples.
UFOs and very unusual encounters have been reported in
countries around the world. All types of objects have
been reported: Disc-shaped, cylindrical or
“cigar-shaped," triangle and boomerang-shaped objects.
Sometimes UFOs seem to be just glowing lights of some
kind, often making interesting movements in the skies.
Some strange lights seen by people around the world
may be much more down to Earth and fall into the
category of “Earth lights.” These may be natural
radiation and/or electromagnetic phenomena that create
usual dancing lights.
At the same time, many researchers insist that beings
from several extraterrestrial civilizations are
visiting us. Some of these visitors may be friendly.
Some may be a danger.
Some people theorize that friendly extraterrestrial
visitors, far more advanced than humans in many ways,
may be trying to guide us through a dangerous phase of
our development. They may be trying to help prevent a
nuclear war as part of this assistance and guidance.
There may be many agendas in play regarding the UFO
phenomena – agendas on the part of extraterrestrial
visitors and agendas of government officials and
others who have inside information about what is going
on.
Reports of temporary abductions of humans often
include theories that some visitors are taking human
DNA for some reason, possibly to create mixed-race
children or have samples of the human race after we
destroy ourselves.
Specific kinds of visiting beings have also been
described: “The Grays,” short, thin with big heads and
big eyes are a common type reported. “The Nordics,”
also called “the handsome people” are another part of
UFO lore. Reptilians and other kinds of beings are
also reported.
Other theories include ideas that angels or beings
from other “higher” dimensions could be visiting and
watching us. Interesting lights we see might be our
own loved ones who have passed on, people who long ago
evolved to become higher spiritual beings, part of
God’s glowing energy and light. Some people believe
they are here to watch over us, guide us and help us.
Maybe, probably, many things are occurring
simultaneously.
Whatever the truth or fantasy of these accounts, some
things seem to be clear: Instead of waging war,
killing each other and developing more destructive
weapons, we might consider constructive and peaceful
approaches when possible.
Instead of destroying the natural resources and
climate of this planet, we might want to take special
care of our Earth. We humans live on a small and
somewhat fragile planet. It is a beautiful place that
deserves our care.
And we humans, with all our failings and faults, have
the potential to achieve great things, great beauty
and great happiness on this planet – and perhaps,
beyond.

| Speaking of war zones, what about the idea that Hitler had flying saucers made during WWII? Anybody here hear about that? |
